Looks like someone bought it. I should sell my last spare copy on Abe for £85 (would screw up my deliberate choice to not make a profit from them, though).

Edit: If anyone wants a copy of Songs for the Philologists (2017), they can have it for $50 donation, which will go to the local cat shelter. Plus postage at cost. The copy is numbered as "PROOF/14", but is otherwise identical to the other 14 numbered copies (and is the last one).

I'll give a couple of days for someone who hasn't already got a copy (and who meets my notoriously fickle and unreasonable vetting criteria) to step in, and if they don't, your cat shelter donation will be gratefully accepted.

...then I'm glad to have withstood your vetting, Stu... Thank you for reservation of No 12
